    by Lee Sechrest, Eugene J. Webb, Donald T. Campbell, Richard D. Schwartz ...
    Series Book 2 - SAGE Classics
    Thirty-five years ago, the four authors of this book addressed the problems of validity in social science research. They were interested in new and unused methods for obtaining information. The original edition and an expanded version have often been cited as justification for using novel means to supplement, if not replace, conventional techniques, especially survey and archival research. ...

  • Simulating Knowledge Dynamics in Innovation Networks

    Edited by Andreas Pyka, Petra Ahrweiler, Nigel Gilbert ...
    Series series Business and Management (R0)
    The competitiveness of firms, regions and countries greatly depends on the generation, dissemination and application of new knowledge. Modern innovation research is challenged by the need to incorporate knowledge generation and dissemination processes into the analysis so as to disentangle the complexity of these dynamic processes. With innovation, however, strong uncertainty, nonlinearities and ... Read more

  • Applications of Systems Thinking and Soft Operations Research in Managing Complexity

    From Problem Framing to Problem Solving

    Edited by Anthony J. Masys ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This book captures current trends and developments in the field of systems thinking and soft operations research which can be applied to solve today's problems of dynamic complexity and interdependency. Such ‘wicked problems’ and messes are seemingly intractable problems characterized as value-laden, ambiguous, and unstable, that resist being tamed by classical problem solving. Actions and ...
